This stupid patch on top of yours seems to make git happier. It's
disgusting, I know, but it just repacks things every kilo-commit.
I actually think that I found a real ext3 performance bug from trying to
determine why git sometimes slows down ridiculously when the tree has been
allowed to go too long without a repack.
